Dear Parents and Guardians,
Thank you for another great week at Hampton Cove Middle School! We appreciate the continued support and partnership of our families as we move further into September. Please review this week's important dates, activities, and athletic events.
Fall Pictures – September 8
Fall Pictures will be taken on Tuesday, September 8. These pictures will also serve as students' yearbook pictures, so we encourage all students to be present and picture-ready.
Additional information regarding picture orders will be shared with families as appropriate.
STEAM Team Meetings
The HCMS STEAM Team will meet twice this week: Tuesday, September 8, 3:00–5:00 PM and Thursday, September 10, 3:00–5:00 PM
Students participating in STEAM Team should make sure they have transportation arranged for 5:00 PM pickup.
September Is Attendance Awareness Month
September is Attendance Awareness Month, and we continue to emphasize the important connection between regular attendance and student success. Every school day matters.
Consistent attendance helps students remain connected to classroom instruction, maintain academic progress, and build positive relationships with teachers and classmates.
Please continue making every effort to have students at school, on time, and ready to learn each day.
Car Line and Arrival Reminders
Students may enter the school beginning at 7:00 AM each morning. Traffic is typically very light at this time, so families who are able to arrive earlier are encouraged to take advantage of this option.
Please remain in the designated car line, follow staff directions, and pull forward as far as possible before allowing students to exit or enter the vehicle. Students should always enter and exit from the passenger side and should never walk between moving vehicles.
Once the morning car line has concluded, students arriving after 8:00 AM must be checked in through the front office by a parent or guardian.
Thank you for helping us keep arrival and dismissal safe and efficient.
Thank You for Your Support
We appreciate the tremendous support of our HCMS families. Your patience, communication, and partnership play an important role in helping us provide a safe, positive, and successful school experience for every student.
We encourage our families to come out and support our student-athletes and coaches. We are proud of the hard work, sportsmanship, and commitment our Bulls demonstrate both in the classroom and in competition.
We hope everyone enjoyed the Labor Day weekend, and we look forward to seeing our students back on Tuesday!
With Bull Pride,
